An. The falling away was not the ceasing of extraordinary gifts of the Spirit in the Apostles.¹ But the Antichrists bringing in of another Gospel, Joh. 2. ver. 10. and the Spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh 1 Joh 4 3. is Antichrist as the Libertines H. Nicholas, Joh. Saltmarsh and Familists who pag. 219. parteth with the common Protestant to behold a state of condemnation in sin and a way of salvation by Jesus Christ and faith in him—to be but a knowledge of Christ after the flesh and of Christ as one single person or figure of a man and the first glimpse of the love of God, and but merely a discovery beyond the Law and all but a fleshly spiritualty. And why? because this comes not by a Yard-length up to the Family of Love, and teacheth salvation by Christ whom these men call a figure of a man, because not true man. And the Antichrist came in the Pope also, and denied Christ to come in the flesh, nullified his manhood, with transubstantiation, a visible head of the Church, Images, merits, traditions of men, &c. invocation of Saints, prayer for the dead, works of supererogation &c. but all these are indifferent to Mr. Saltmarsh and on•y Antichristian because literal and external, not because they are not warranted by scripture. and he brought in the abuse of Philosophy, Logic, Arts and tongues, which much darkened Gospel-glory.
